Album Notes and Credits

Liner Note Author: Phil Gallo.

The 2012 set The Greatest Hits -- the first-ever compilation of the new millennial modern rock band 3 Doors Down -- does indeed serve up most of the group's biggest hits, beginning with their 2000 breakthrough "Kryptonite" and wrapping up with two new recordings, one called "Goodbyes," whose title lends this set a slight sense of finality. Not all of the band's charting singles are here -- notably "Citizen Soldier," which served as a soundtrack to a military recruitment ad in the waning days of the George W Bush administration, is absent -- but the ones that count are: "It's Not My Time," "Let Me Go," "Away from the Sun," "Here Without You," "Be Like That," "When I'm Gone," and "Duck and Run," all adding up to a thorough overview of this enduring post-alt rock band. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
